"Viva la vida" her parting words, inscribed in painting, her last painting of cut watermelons; three years later, Diego honored her last image and did one of his own, his last painting before he died. Her immense love of life (I share it!). Her cremated body described by her friends and students as violet, silver, the colors of shadows. Carlos Fuentes says she "sacrilized" life (I do also!) "everything she touched, she wanted to sacrilize" so much did she love life, even while experiencing nearly constant pain. I honor her memory in this painting, the beauty of her soul that found so much joy in living through suffering, the bravest and most heroic of women painters!
